Independiente's likely line-up to face Unión: one doubt up front

Independiente already has the team that will face Unión practically decided, with just one doubt on the left wing. The Avellaneda side trained in the morning under Jadson Viera, following the draw against San Lorenzo, and began to fine-tune details for the upcoming match against El Tatengue.

The coach is keeping a structure similar to the one he used in the last match. The main question mark is on the left side of the attack, where Matías Abaldo is dealing with an ankle sprain and also has not been showing the expected effectiveness. Given this situation, Josías Palais appears as an option to come into the starting lineup.

If no last-minute issues arise, Independiente’s probable lineup would be Rodrigo Rey; Leonardo Godoy, Juan Manuel Fedorco, Juan Miguel Arrayago and Facundo Zabala; Mateo Pérez Curci, Iván Marcone and Maximiliano Meza; Santiago Montiel, Ezequiel Ávila and Matías Abaldo or Josías Palais.

El Rojo comes into this match after drawing with San Lorenzo. In that game, Independiente had a good first half and managed to take the lead, although they could not hold on to the advantage in the second half.

Now, Viera is working on the team’s preparation to face Unión and only has to decide who will fill the left-wing spot. Abaldo or Palais, that is the doubt the coach still has before confirming the starting eleven.
